GHK peptide as a natural modulator of multiple cellular pathways in skin regeneration
Pickart L, Vasquez-Soltero JM, Margolina A.
BioMed Research International, 2015
Key finding
GHK-Cu modulates 32% of human genes, upregulating repair/anti-inflammatory pathways and downregulating tissue destruction pathways — a broad anti-aging gene expression signature.
Summary
Comprehensive gene expression review showing GHK-Cu modulates over 4,000 human genes (32% of genome), with patterns that reverse age-related expression changes in tissue repair and inflammation.
